If you're a T-Mobile customer, this holiday season looks like it will be the company's strongest yet, with more Android and tablet offerings than before. According to a press release, T-Mobile will be offering the LG Nexus 4, the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, and the LG Optimus L9 along with best-sellers such as the Samsung Galaxy S3 .
LG Nexus 4: The LG Nexus 4 is the latest in Google's Nexus line of smartphones. The LG Nexus 4 comes with a 4.7-inch display that has a resolution of 1280X768, giving it 320 pixels per inch (ppi). Underneath the hood, the Nexus 4 has a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon(TM) S4 Pro processor, but no LTE support (meaning it won't be able to take advantage of T-Mobile's upcoming 2013 LTE release).
The phone also has an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera. Like all Google-branded devices, the Nexus 4 will run the latest version of Android, Android 4.2, and receive upgrades before non-Google handsets.
The LG Nexus 4 will be available on November 13 for $199.99 with a standard two-year contract.
Samsung Galaxy Note 2: The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 might just be the most powerful handset available in the United States. With a massive 5.55-inch HD Super AMOLED display, the phone also has a 1.6GHz quad-core processor and 4G LTE support (meaning it will be able to run on T-Mobile's LTE network when it launches).
The Galaxy Note 2 has an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 1.9-megapixel front-facing camera. In addition, it will come with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean out of the box, and the S Pen electronic stylus.
The T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is already available for purchase for $369.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate, and a standard two-year contract.
LG Optimus L9: If the two other powerhouses aren't exactly your cup of tea, then T-Mobile is offering the cheaper, mid-level LG Optimus L9. The 4.7-inch screen on this handset has a resolution of 960X540, meaning around 234 ppi. The phone has a dual-core 1GHz processor and doesn't feature LTE support.
The LG Optimus L9 also has weaker cameras - a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera and a VGA front cam. It will run the older Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich upon its release.
The LG Optimus L9 is set to release today for the price of $79.99, after a $50 mail-in rebate, with a standard two-year contract, although T-Mobile's online store still says "Coming Soon."
T-Mobile will also be offering data plans for the upcoming 32GB Google Nexus 7, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 beginning in early November.
